Major International Aid Agencies - TSV
International aid agencies are international organizations working in the fields of development assistance, humanitarian aid, and peacebuilding. Centered around UN system programs and funds (UNDP, UNICEF, UNHCR, WHO, WFP, etc.) and specialized agencies (ILO, FAO, UNESCO, World Bank, etc.), they play crucial roles in global poverty reduction, healthcare, education, environmental protection, and refugee assistance. These agencies operate through contributions from governments and private donations, collaborating to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
